Incisional Ptosis Correction & Epicanthoplasty
A case study of a woman in her 20s who achieved a clearer, more refreshed look through incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Eye-opening muscle strength: Slightly weak
# Skin thickness: Medium, with puffy eyelids
# Primary concerns: Desires to improve a ‘sleepy’ appearance and puffy eyelids
* Consultation
# I want to fix my sleepy-looking eyes and the puffiness.
# It would be best to create a clearer and more refreshed impression through ptosis correction.
# The puffy feeling in the upper eyelids should be addressed by removing excess fat.
# Since the skin is somewhat thick, non-incisional or partial incision methods may lead to the folds loosening or unravelling over time. Therefore, I highly recommend the full incision method!
* Surgical Plan
# Incisional Ptosis Correction
# Epicanthoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
# Along with the creation of natural double eyelid lines, the eye-opening strength was corrected, resulting in a much clearer and brighter impression.
# Many people worry that an incisional surgery will look unnatural, too deep, or awkward. However, if the surgery is performed according to the proper indications, there is absolutely no need to worry about scarring or the naturalness of the result.
Consultations and surgeries should always be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
